I just finished Mark Sanborn’s book, You Don’t Need a Title to be a Leader. Amazing book with so many great legendary quotes. Here is a list of my favorite Sanborn quotes that I spotted while reading:

- “An army of lions led by a lion is to be feared most of all, for it is unstoppable”
- “When you do your job-any job-with initiative and determination to positively make a difference, you become a leader”
- “We can’t give what we don’t have. We can’t extend what we haven’t already accepted”
- “Fame is based on what we get in life, but true greatness is based on what we give in life”
- “Everyone who leads is involved in servant leadership”
- “Small improvements lead to big results”
- “You can’t lead others until you can first lead yourself”
- “One of the quickest ways to burnout is to stop doing what you enjoy”
